Abstract

A terminal device and a program that can reduce the operation load at a construction site, are provided. The terminal device is configured to capture an image of a construction status of a device installed at a plurality of locations, the terminal device including an imaging unit configured to capture the image of an imaging target; an imaging instruction acquiring unit configured to acquire an imaging instruction given by a user to the imaging unit; a display unit configured to display candidates of each of a plurality of kinds of construction target information to be associated with the image that the user is to capture; and a selecting unit configured to select, according to the user's instruction, a candidate from among the candidates of each of the plurality of kinds of the construction target information displayed on the display unit, wherein when the candidate is selected at the selecting unit, a candidate linked to the selected candidate is displayed on the display unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A terminal device configured to capture an image of a construction status of a device installed at a plurality of locations, the terminal device comprising:
 a memory; and 
 a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: 
 receive, from a user of the terminal device, a selection instruction to select construction target information to be associated with the image to be captured among a plurality of candidates for the construction target information, each candidate belonging to one of a plurality of types of information, the plurality of types of information including at least two types of information among information relating to a case, a property, a constructor, an imaging person, a location, a device, operation content, operation progress, evaluation of operation, and imaging date and time, wherein the selecting construction target information is performed by: 
 presenting, to the user, a first set of candidates of the plurality of candidates categorized by one of the plurality of types of information, 
 selecting, in response to the selection instruction from the user, a first candidate as information to be associated with the image from among the presented first set of candidates, 
 after the first candidate is selected, identifying a second set of candidates categorized by one of the plurality of types of information, the second set of candidates being associated with the selected first candidate and belonging to a different type of information than the type of information of the selected first candidate, 
 presenting, to the user, the second set of candidates, and
 selecting, in response to the selection instruction from the user, a second candidate as information associated with the image from among the presented second set of candidates; wherein the processor is further configured to: 
 
 upon completion of the selection of construction target information, in response to a capture instruction to capture the image from the user of the terminal device, capture the image; and 
 after capturing the image, present, to the user, at least one of the selected first candidate or the selected second candidate. 
 
     
     
       2. The terminal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 register linking information relating to linking between the candidates based on the plurality of types of information. 
 
     
     
       3. The terminal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 acquire linking information relating to linking between the candidates based on the plurality of types of information, and 
 in response to the selection instruction from the user, select the first candidate as information to be associated with the image from among the presented first set of candidates, 
 after the first candidate is selected, identifying the second set of candidates based on the linking information, and 
 presenting, to the user, the second set of candidates. 
 
     
     
       4. The terminal device according to  claim 1 , wherein in an imaging standby state before receiving the instruction to capture the image from the user of the terminal device, the processor is configured to present, to the user, the construction target information. 
     
     
       5. The terminal device according to  claim 1 , wherein in a state where one candidate is presented for each of the plurality of types of information, in response to receiving the capture instruction to capture the image from the user of the terminal device, the processor is configured to select the one candidate presented for each of the plurality of types of information. 
     
     
       6. The terminal device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 upon completion of the selection of construction target information, in response to the capture instruction to capture the image from the user of the terminal device, the processor is configured to capture the image and associate the captured image with the selected first candidate or the selected second candidate. 
 
     
     
       7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process performed in a terminal device including an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a construction status of a device installed at a plurality of locations, the process comprising:
 receiving, from a user of the terminal device, a selection instruction to select construction target information to be associated with the image to be captured among a plurality of candidates for the construction target information, each candidate belonging to one of a plurality of types of information, the plurality of types of information including at least two types of information among information relating to a case, a property, a constructor, an imaging person, a location, a device, operation content, operation progress, evaluation of operation, and imaging date and time, wherein the selecting construction target information is performed by: 
 presenting, to the user, a first set of candidates of the plurality of candidates categorized by one of the plurality of types of information, and 
 selecting, in response to the selection instruction from the user, a first candidate as information to be associated with the image from among the presented first set of candidates, 
 after the first candidate is selected, identifying a second set of candidates categorized by one of the plurality of types of information, the second set of candidates being associated with the selected first candidate and belonging to a different type of information than the type of the information of the selected first candidate, 
 presenting, to the user, the second set of candidates, and 
 selecting, in response to the selection instruction from the user, a second candidate as information associated with the image from among the presented second set of candidates; wherein the processor is further configured to: 
 upon completion of the selection of construction target information, in response to a capture instruction to capture the image from the user of the terminal device, capture the image; and 
 after capturing the image, present, to the user, at least one of the selected first candidate or the selected second candidate.
